Yeah, I've got to hand it to Fitz. For all his flaws, when push comes to shove and his students' academic future is on the line he seems willing (however grudgingly) to go to bat and do above and beyond what is required of him.

Yep. This isn't his job, but he's going to do what he can to make sure it happens. And apparently, in the earlier incident he didn't just stop with giving the students a quick summary of what they should have gotten from the advisor, he got some other people (department officials?) involved to have a chat with her.

(Which means they actually managed to get hold of her. Apparently more than any of the students have achieved.)

Fitz is the man. Though I wonder if it would help the two any that he pulled her back to her workstation. My first impression of her is kind of in shambles already, as far as her professionalism goes, so I wouldn't be surprised if she was more or less useless in her function.

Yes, I'm being a hypocrite. No, you should still calm down, it's valid.
